Tutela handbags on T.V.!
Tutela handbagswill be on national television at the end of this month. They started working with a company out of San Francisco, Melinamade, that makes hand-screenprinted reproduction barkcloth fabrics earlier this spring. They sent Melina the first batch of bags, and she promptly brought them to a meeting with the stylists for the "Movie and a Makeover" show. They loved them, and put them in the show with the rest of Melina's products. They couldn't get our name mentioned, but it will be on Melina's website, where they can be purchsed.
Here's the little blurb on the show: Look for Jerry Maguire on your cable guide on TBS July 30th. Katriesa Shirley's Vintage Fabric segment will air that includes Melina Made products. Melina Made will also be included on the tbs.com website under Katriesas Expert Tips.
Hope you can catch the show!

real power rangers
My brother's electrical crew is in Jay, FL working to restore power to the region. Power lines were blown down throughout the Northeastern Florida and Southern Alabama region due to last week's destructive visit by Hurriance Dennis.

"What's it all about?"
said the 17-year-old cashier, "I wish I were dead 'cause I don't want to hafta worry about doing anything after high school."
[Since the suicide it seems like every conversation is about dying.]
Here's where i turn into a grandparent,
"You're life is a gift. You're healthy, young gorgeous. You can use all your limbs. You're lucky. Man, working here doesn't seem that bad. My first job, I was paid $3.15 an hour to bathe old people, feed them, give them their medications..."
What I wanted to say was you can't think that now when you have everything youth has to offer. You have no right to think that. You're perfect. You don't even have acne. All the while I'm thinking about my grandmother one of the strongest and meanest women I've ever known who as a result of a stroke has lost the ability to use the right side of her body and can't get out the words she wants to say. Then I turn my thoughts to me. I'm not curing cancer, just weeding the garden, watering the lawn, what the hell do I know about what we should be doing or have a clue about what we're supposed to be doing. I'm just thinking I hope I can have a conversation with my grandmother again instead of pretending to be strong and encouraging all the time.
It just when you hate hearing, "you ought to" or "you should from someone" that you may not get to hear exactly what use to drive you crazy. But the annoying chatter is what is known to us. What-else can fill the space besides, shoulda, woulda, couldas? If we never heard it again nothing could take the place of wise council we thought we didn't need but don't get the benefit of any longer.
So you run the scripts your self. "What you ought to do is just send them a nice card so they know you're thinking about them." But what to write? "I hope the devastating pain you're in doesn't destroy you. Sorry for the vast ocean of distance that has grown between us. I hope you can visit soon.
